Isaiah 16:3-5
New King James Version
Isaiah 16:3-5
New King James Version
3 “Take counsel, execute judgment;
Make your shadow like the night in the middle of the day;
Hide the outcasts,
Do not betray him who escapes.
4 Let My outcasts dwell with you, O Moab;
Be a shelter to them from the face of the [a]spoiler.
For the extortioner is at an end,
Devastation ceases,
The oppressors are consumed out of the land.
5 In mercy (A)the throne will be established;
And One will sit on it in truth, in the tabernacle of David,
(B)Judging and seeking justice and hastening (C)righteousness.”

New International Version
3 “Make up your mind,” Moab says.
“Render a decision.
Make your shadow like night—
at high noon.
Hide the fugitives,(A)
do not betray the refugees.
4 Let the Moabite fugitives stay with you;
be their shelter(B) from the destroyer.”
The oppressor(C) will come to an end,
and destruction will cease;(D)
the aggressor will vanish from the land.
5 In love a throne(E) will be established;(F)
in faithfulness a man will sit on it—
one from the house[a] of David(G)—
one who in judging seeks justice(H)
and speeds the cause of righteousness.
